Nancy, I posted a comment back in 2003 with my old email address. I ran into old friend of mine, gave him myspace address, he lost it and googled my name to find it. Google listed your site with this heading "I ran into snags because my old friend didn't have a myspace which I was sure he would have had he was a ...... Britton Tallaksen ..." My friend now has my myspace address, but someone else I used to know is looking for me. I can not find the comment on your page and I wish I knew how to kind out who was looking for me. Please, Nancy, leave this comment up. I know it does not have antthing to do with you, but I hope by re-posting, this person may find me.

I thought of asking keung for your email but I thought it was wrong to do so. Dad is going into hospital for heart surgury on Thursday..I know they'd love your best wishes, Good luck Nancy...Ollie tells me how lovely you are...when I was laying in my Army hospital bed all those years ago when we spoke..I agree with him..Mum (Ros says so too) P.S Do you want some pics of Granny? I've got loads of her. I wonder if you could ever imagine how proud she was of you...and how much she loved you till the end...Cant you put a picture of her on your website...I'd be so proud if you did...She was a beautiful lady who loved every one of her grandchildren. God bless Nancy Andrew

Ms. Kwan, I am an old friend of your son, Bernie. We met in Honolulu when he was here filming and spend many wonderful days together. Whenever he returned, we would catch up on what we both were doing. I always bought crack seeds for him to bring back to you. He had once told me how much you enjoyed them. Last night I saw you on a Hawaii talk show about Diamond Head Theater's Flower Drum Song, which I will be going to tonight. I thought I'd try to look up how I could get in touch with Bernie again. I was so shocked to find out he was gone. Of course, it has been many years since we communicated .... he will always hold a special place in my heart! He was very kind, full of love and wonderful man. The world will miss him.... Karyn

Like a favorite fairy tale that lingers in the mind, the World of Suzie Wong caught the imagination of film enthusiasts a long time ago and has never let go. Not only a touching story, very much like "Sayonara", it gave us Nancy Kwan at her most delectable, in the role for which I suppose she is best known. Nancy was then an Asian version of Natalie Wood, just adorable. There've been many turns of the road since then, and tragedy, but she remains in our hearts as "Suzie".

Dear Mrs Kwan. My Name is Tommy Salvato..I only met you once..Your son was my best friend at University High. When I first met Bernie he was scaling the wall of the art class we had together, The wall was tight stone with relatively no play to get a grip on yet Bernie was at the top where the wall meets the ceiling in no time. I used to come over to your house in Westwood and Bernie and I would practice kung fu. I always remembered Bernie showing me buckets filled with sand which he would plunge his fingers into to make the callous build on his fingertips. We would practice in your court yard "full contact" Bernie had a wicked speed that always took me off guard.Many times I was on the ground and Bernie was helping me back up for more punishment.I had a roundhouse he used to love to watch. Bernie and I stayed in contact as much as possible..I always checked up on him in trade papers since we both pursued careers similar in entertainment. Bernie was a close friend of mine in a very important time of my life. We used to sit at lunch and talk and he always was a good ear when I told him about how indecisive I was while growing up not knowing what to do with my life. He had chosen to be a stunt man but I was fixed on trying to be a rock star which had no concrete foundation in reality..but Bernie always told me to" stay focused and I would rise above the rest". Your Son was my best friend in a split second of time. We both were outcasts in a wierd way because we saw the hypocrisy of High School life. Bernie had enough credits to graduate in the first month of the 12th grade but he rode out the year of 12 for the fun of it he said. I watched him through Streets of fire..and Wayne's World I met him a couple times when I was pursuing a career as a background painter for sound stages..Hollywood is a fishbowl and I always knew that eventually Bernie and I would connect back up and start our Martial arts again.or just sit around and talk smack about how many fools are in this world.I met you very briefly when Bernie introduced us when I came over one day..He had all these spears with red tassels behind his bedroom door it was Bernie who told me the history of the tassel on the spear to confuse an opponent to where the spear head was...I left after he fed me lunch and I never saw you again. It's been 15 years and the Internet,,I was watching an old re-run of the first Mission impossible where Tom Cruise was scaling a mountain and I jumped up to find my old friend on Google search and contact him and tell him I missed him and was thinking of him. I ran into snags because my old friend didn't have a myspace which I was sure he would have had he was a charismatic celebrity who would have used the site to network his star to huge greatness..I kept looking and couldn't understand why the only Bernie Pock kept coming up passed away...I kept looking then found an article,, I stopped. I loved Bernie as a friend I could always call or write or bump into and we would have been right back in your courtyard practicing martial arts and laughing ....I'm sorry......Your Son meant a lot to me as a friend. I only met you once...But your Son changed my life.at one point in time,,for a split second,,he was my best friend.. Tommy Salvato

Dear Nancy, I see a small resemblence to Lucy Liu, who is lovely, but not so beautiful as you. You struck a chord in all of us when you played the role for which we all remember you... Suzie Wong. That character appealed to us on many levels, not just because of your physical beauty, but because of the person we saw in her. Her vulnerability. The need to protect her. A male instinct, I suppose. Perhaps, like Cinderella, she is merely a creature of the imagination, someone we think must have existed somewhere, at some time. But still a memory we treasure like a family heirloom. We lost track of you for a little while. But we never forgot. Hope you are happy and well.

I fell in love with Nancy when I was 10 or 11 years old. I saw her picture in the Chicago Tribune's Movie section. I'm not sure if I ever saw another Asian face until that time. I was Happily Hooked. From there I was destined to go to Asia. I've been to HK, Thailand, Viet-Nam, Cambodia, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and on and on. I speak Thai, and believe in reincarnation. I’ve since found out that I had a relative who was in China in the middle 1920’s. He was a Military advisor to his friend Chang Hsueh-liang. You might know that name as a hero of both Taiwan and PRC. It turns out both of us have lived a similar life in and out of the Military. He was a General in Marshal Chang Tso-lin’s Army the father of his friend who he met in College in the States. I'm 61 right now, and I'd marry her today. I've always liked older women, ha. I wish there was a way to send her my picture, as I am a S.A.G. actor and model.

Dear Nancy, Seems a bit strange to be e-mailing you in 2007, nearly 40 years since I first saw you in Suzie Wong, but I was searching in Google and some pictures of you popped up. What can I say?...I consider you one of my favorite actresses of all time. You had a look, style, and attitude that was irresistable to me ( and every young man ). Aside from your breathtaking beauty, you were a terrific actress; able to be very genuine and heartfelt on screen. Your movie roles never fail to bring out strong emotions in me, something that is pretty rare, becuase I'm really not the star-struck, emotional fan type. I probably have seen World Of Suzie Wong & Flower Drum Song 50 times. So let me just thank you for all the wonderful movies you made. No Asian actress, to this day, has ever matched the amazing beauty, charm, talent, and humor that you had. I'm sure you still have it going on now too.

I've been watching Flower Drum Song lately, and wanting to get back to Susie Wong, since it has been a while. In the commentaries and interviews on the Flower Drum Song DVD, Nancy stated she was tryng to get in touch with Miyoshi Umeki, and found it difficult. In reading the NY Times on line today, it listed that Miyoshi Umeki recently passed away in Licking, MO at age 78 from cancer. Nice write-up about her career. Death reported by her son, Michael Hood, also of Licking, MO. Wanted to be sure than Nancy and other Miyoshi fans who come to this site are aware.

Hello Ms. Kwan; I have known about "The World of Suzie Wong" and Nancy Kwan since 1960, when my much older brother raved about this gorgeous Chinese girl he had just seen at the movies. Just last week I saw Suzie Wong for the first time, on DVD. What a great first movie for virgin actress, for goodness' sake ! And you still look fabulous-- must be due to healthy living and Pearl Cream ? By the way, my dad knew William Holden back in 1937 in drama classes at Pasadena Junior College; his name was Bill Beedle then. When Hollywood came calling, he left school and dad never saw him again (except in the movies). Regards, Daniel Olson in San Francisco

Also to note: we have a few things in common. I am also a child of a Scotish mother and Chinese father (Cantonese), and I share the same month and day of birth as you! That's how I got to this site, as I was looking this up and wikipedia noted you in the list. As a Eurasian I think a lot of people always have am misconception of this identity.

The home page statement, "Nancy Kwan became the first Chinese actress to achieve fame in Western cinema" overstates the case a tiny bit. Although Anna May Wong (1905-1961) was born in the United States, I submit that she was the first ethnic Chinese actress to achieve fame in Hollywood cinema. I'm a fan of them both!

I was in total shock when I heard that I was the only one from the United states to be given such an offer.

I saw this the first time in the 60's on TV. I have had a crush on Suzie ever since. Not because of the topic f the movie, but because of the beauty. The way Nancy portrayed the character had an innocence and strength of a survivor. The characters beauty and grace were all about Nancy. The character’s personality was contrived and acted out by Nancy. It was after all a movie. I have never seen Suzie as a hooker. I saw her as an unfortunate young girl, trying to survive. It was and still is a cruel world for some to live in. I guess in some ways she was always a symbol of hope. I hope Nancy Kwan is well. As much as I would like to, I know I will never meet or talk to her. I wish her the best for all her life. The small part she shared with me through her artistic efforts will always be with me and I thank her for it.

I loved the movie so much that my parents bought me the soundtrack album as my very first record. I could also stay up past bed time to watch the movie when it was on TV.

Hopefully most of your fans are aware of the fact. The colors and sets are quite incredible to see in their orignal widescreen format. And of course the musical numbers never sounded better. I have yet to go over the Special Features - thank you for participating and I'm sure your comments will be insightful. Lastly,I would like to ask, have you managed to see the film on this dvd yet?

You are so lovely! I was a child touring HK with my mom when I came across a magazine that had you on the cover. I still remember it had a black glossy background and only a half-body shot of you in profile and the title "The World of Suzie Wong". (This makes me wonder now, as I found out only today that the movie was released in 1960, but I remember very well that I saw that magazine when I was around 7 years old already - 1967. Had it been re-released then?) I dunno why I kept that magazine for many years (it got ruined in a flood, sadly), but I never forgot about it... and last night,I was finally able to watch that movie over cable. I loved you in it. I'm glad I found this site, I've been showing your pictures to my kids and my friends. They all agree with me... you are really lovely to look at, and you look lovelier through the years.

There is a fabulous collection of songs from Flower Drum Song performed by Andre Kostelanetz' orchestra circa 1959. Kostelanetz had already established himself as perhaps THE leading conductor for the tunes of Richard Rogers. But this album is a smash hit, capturing the many subtle flavors of the soooo charming Flower Drum Song. The compilation is sadly unavailable on CD, but I recently had my LP transferred to a CD. Nancy, if you don't have this, you MUST have it. I have an extra one reserved for you...where to send? A few years ago I attended the screening of Flower Drum Song at the San Francisco Castro Theatre attended by you & James. It was just so special to see you there - your star as bright as ever! The energy in that theatre (standing room only!) was just incredible & I will never forget it!! So how can we follow your current public appearances? Is there any plan to celebrate the release of the Flower Drum Song DVD next month?

Dear Nancy, Yesterday, on television, I watched the film "Lt. Robin Crusoe USN". Although the film got a poor review in my newspaper, I decided to watch it because you were in the cast. As it happened, the review was completely wrong, (as they usually are), and it was enyoable, easy-going family entertainment.I was impressed with your role Nancy, as a nymph of tropical paradise, how young and beautiful you were, and what a contrast this light comic role made with the heavy, tear-jerking tragedy of Suzie Wong. I was particularly impressed with a comic mime sequence you performed in the film, it really showed the depth of empathy and expression you naturally possess as an actress - let know one tell you that you are not a first-class naturally talented actress.

Dear Nancy Kwan, My favorite movie of you is 'Flower Drum Song.' I've seen that movie in San Francicso Chinatown in the 1960's when I was a little girl. It has glamour and style. You were great in 'World of Susie Wong.' I'm wondering...is 'Susie Wong' a true story? Is it based on a real person. I'm sure there are lots of 'Susie Wong' stories out there. Where can a little girl turn to, if she has no parents to protect and take good care of her? I'm a Chinese American who grew up in the 1960's living in Chinatown San Francisco and understands the struggles of living in America while being a Chinese American. It's like living in two worlds. Thank you for 2 great films. Are you still working as an actress? If so, what are the most recent films called? Best Regards, Betty

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of watching "The World of Suzie Wong" again on UK terrestial television, and as ever it was a beguiling and bewitching experience. Forty-six years have come and gone since its initial release, so unfortunately 1960, is in the cusp of living memory for most of us, but this just adds to the bewitching quality of the film.The poverty-stricken, shabby Hong Kong portrayed is but a distant memory, covered over with futuristic towers of steel and glass, the Hollywood of the golden age of the '50s with its melodramas and matinee idols is gone too... to be replaced with rubbishy "action films". William Holden is as Robert Lomax, a type of hero never seen these days, handsome, matur and the stong silent type, and not forgetting the elfin Eurasian beauty of Nancy herself, such a great performance and such confidence for one so young - we can see why Ray Stark gave the part to the unknown Nancy straight out of ballet school. Like adream with every year that passes the film seems to be more other-worldly and remote, I remember the first time I saw it, on television, in the mid-'70s, the film looked almost modern, now it belongs to an age as remote asthe 1920s. It is also disconcerting to see a film that captured the popular imagination so much in the '60s and which became iconic and vernacular to relegated without ceremony to a slow "filler" slot on television. That said, "The World of Suzie Wong", is one of the very few films ever to make me cry, (for deeply personal reasons), and its effect on other romantic, sensitive souls can be gauged from the comments to be read here. One final question, I just wonder how much is the character of Lomax is autobiographically based on Richard Mason (the writer), himself and how much of his deep knowledge of Hong Kong and the "bar-girl" scene, based on his own experiences? Many thanks Nancy for a great film and letting me to post my few words here.

Ms. Kwan, As an eighteen year old I saw The World of Suzie Wong and immediately began making plans to catch a tramp freighter to Hong Kong and begin my life as a painter, meet a beautiful Chinese woman and live happily ever after. My mother literally yanked me off the boat and helped me get into California Institute of the Arts. At 64 I have recently retired to Santa Fe from more than thirty years as a college art professor. I will always wonder if I would have met "my Suzie" had I followed the inspiration I saw in you and your movie.It will always be onr of the fondest memories of my youth. Warren Dunn

My Chinese wife, Moi Yin, and I just love your movie "The World of Suzie Wong". It's amazing that this film was shot three years before I was even born. As I myself am a white American married to a Chinese woman, I find that Nancy Kwan holds a special place in our hearts! My wife and I love any movie that shows good bonding between Chinese and Americans such as Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour" and "Shanghai" movies. "The World of Suzie Wong," "The Flower Drum Song", and "The Bruce Lee Movie" all have this critical element that we duly appreciate! I must say that you still look very Mei Lee (Beautiful) and the next time you and your family pass through Bakersfield feel free to drop by our house for some original Chinese Cooking or perhaps you can stop in and say hello at the next Bakersfield Chinese American Society event. Over 3000 Chinese here in Bakersfield at present. You set a great example for Asian American Women!

To Whom It May Concern: I work with a local non-profit in Los Angeles that provides services to survivors of domestic violence in the Asian American community. Each year we hold a very large fundraiser in the Los Angeles area and this year we were wondering if Nancy Kwan would be interested in serving as our Master of Ceremonies. I was told by a Dr. Roya De la Fraz stated that Ms. Kwan was very active within the Asian American community. I would be more than happy to provide more information about my organization and our event if given the opportunity. I can be reached at 323.653. 4045 ext 204 or via email at emk@cpaf.info.

Dear Ms. Kwan, I am having a very hard time at this moment. I think I've only spoken with you on the phone once or twice. I just tried to find a way to write to Bernie on the internet and I realize that I can not... I'm so sorry, and maybe I should not even send my thoughts these many years later, but I just don't know what else to do. Bernie was one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. I want to tell you how much I cared for him, and how sorry I am that we lost touch after becoming friends in Wilmington NC - after he came to stay at my parents' home in Chapel Hill so many, many years ago. I was in love with Bernie at that time, but I had not recovered from another difficult relationship. We were both so young and I was so afraid. The time I spent with Bernie was magical. He was the one fine person I met before I gave up on working in the film industry. I realized that there simply were not enough people like him in that business to make it a place where I could happily spend my life. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance... The last time we spoke on the phone, Bernie was living in the desert. I thought he sounded very happy, even if things were not perfect with you guys. And I thought, at the time, that he didn't need me to bother him. I didn't want to make things any more difficult or complicated for him. I don't know why I felt like I needed to write to him now, and I can't believe that he is gone. Bernie was a wonderful friend, if for much too short a time. But to be honest, I never felt like time or distance would separate us. Despite not talking with him for so many years, I realize that I have continued to carry Bernie deep in my heart. I don't know what else to say. Bernie changed my life. He gave me a lightness of spirit. He gave me the Tao. He gave me the greatest of gifts. I love him, and I always will. Thank you for bringing him into my life. Terry (Marcellin) Little

NANCY I wanted to thank you for taking the time to come lecture at our Asian American Studies class at the University of California Santa Barbara in September 2001. One of the students who had dinner with us that evening graduated number one at UCSB last year and received a full scholarship to Stanford University. Also, all of those students who met with you afterwards graduated and have moved on to graduate school or are pursuing their career goals. I like to think that you were a positive role model for them. While some may look at “The World of Suzie Wong” from a sensual point of view, what our students learned was to ignore the feminists’ attacks on your work and to look at the story that was told. “Suzie Wong” is a strong woman forced to make life style choices within the limited opportunities available to her. As we learn towards the end, she was sacrificing all for her child. I received many positive comments after your lecture. Most of my students learned from you how to separate the movie character from the real person. After all, acting is a profession and often does not parallel life. But they also learned to ignore the critics and to experience for themselves. Hope you can join us again for another lecture. And by the way, I’ve moved the boat up to San Francisco to Pier 39 so if you are in the area with your other half (I really thought he was your body guard) please join us for an afternoon of sailing.

I never like old movies, but i couldn't reach for my remote when The World of Suzie Wong was on the TV. It was a very good movie that I couldn't stop watching. The storyline, the casts, and the sets (how can I see old Wanchai anywhere else?) were incredibly interesting that it's still worth it to watch even 40 years after! I will buy the DVD, so I can watch it all over again. Thank you for being so great...

Hello Nancy, Hope this note finds you well. I am a United pilot that has been flying to Hong Kong on a regular basis for the past 6 years. Hong Kong is by far my FAVORITE city and after having just watched The World of Suzie Wong AGAIN, I was hoping if you would be kind enough to answer a couple of questions on your shoot locations. Hong Kong has obviously changed alot in the last 40 or so years. The population for one has more than doubled and the skyline has changed connsiderably. Besides the Star Ferry location, Aberdeen and Repulse Bay, it looked to me that the hotel was somewhere in Cenral, Suzie's home was in North Point and the panorama scenes from the rooftop looked like it ws shot somewhere up on Bowen Rd. There is a bar in Wanchai called the "Wanch" where there is a beautiful poster of you and William Holden. The owner of the bar said a fair amount of the movie was shot on Jaffe Rd near the Luk Kwok Hotel....doesn't look like it to me, but I certainly could be wrong. Well Nancy, I do very much look forward to hearing from you. Take care and am wishing you and yours all the best. Jerry Gallud

Long time fan,first time writing. I enjoyed The World of Suzie Wong & Flower Drum Song,even though I know they're not so politically correct anymore.An actress can only play the roles that are offered her.Ms.Kwan was excellent in her cameo in Dragon:The Bruce Lee Story. I'm interested in another project you've been involved with, the documentary on Anna May Wong ( Wong Liu Tsong ).What is the status of this film? This is a story that's needed telling for a long time.Ms.wong had to put up with too much in her life. She never received the kudos she deserved.

Dear Suzie, My name is John and in the 1960s I was in the British Royal Navy and I was serving on a naval ship in Hong Kong and I use to go to Wan Chia and also to the Lu Quok bar were I met a bar girl and she said her name was Suzie Wong. I got to know her very well and we use to go out together for some time while I was in Hong Kong, I do remeber that there was a poster in the bar which said"The World Of Suzie Wong By Richard Mason. Whe I use to ask her about Richard Mason the author she would always shy away from the conversation and change the subject. Ofcourse in the book it says that all the charactors are ficticious but I do wonder. Could this be the woman who maybe Richard Mason based his book on. I think it was and I am sure that he had some type of relationship with her. It would be great if I could get some response from you over this story. Yours truly John Jones

I remember seeing it when i was about 5 years old at the Strand Theater in Thompsonville Conn. However, just a few days ago, I purchased "The World of Suzie Wong" on DVD. It's magic! What more can i say? I just start to cry during some of the scenes..it's so beautiful. Especially when you put on that outfit that William Holden's Character purchased for you. You come out in that and bow to him, and say to him "No only Wan Chai girl in love"... I just wonder if they let you keep that costume.. what a treasure!!! Reminds me of "Portrait of Jennie".... the paintings by Liz Moore were outstanding... the sights of Hong Kong...it was beautiful and rustic back then. Hope one can still go back there and find some old in that city.. thank you for letting me comment. regard, Mariam F Donerian

Nancy, I just wanted to say, It was a pleasure to see your film "The World of Suzie Wong" for the 20th time. I only wish there was a folow up to that movie? It would have made for a great movie watching how you and W. Holden...work things out good & bad in the states? (maybe a comedy? heheheh) Again, thank you for gracing the film & acting community and coming into our hearts! You are a true gem Nancy. I wish you good health & much love.

As I prepare for a sentimental journey to Hong Kong where I lived as a little girl you came to mind, Ms. Kwan, and I found your site. I recall having seen your movie for the first time on TV when i was not even in school yet and remember being very moved by your portrayal of Suzie. As someone who is also Eurasian I am proud to know that you represent us and that you are actively engaged in your acting profession to this day. Much continued good health and happiness to you.

Dear Nancy I have been a great admirer for many years and I wonder if you could please assist me. I am Chairperson of Action Medical Research in Peterborough in the UK. Action Medical Research provides funding for vital research and you have this funding to thank for the first British Polio vaccine, the first Rubella vaccine, the first ultra sound scanning and the first artificial hip and much more. This year we are hoping to raise £3m for the Touching Tiny Lifes Campaign for research into problems in pregnancy and premature birth. I know that this may be an impossible request for you but I am organising a very prestigious Ball with a Chinese New Year theme and we would be extremely highly honoured if you could attend this event as our special guest. The Ball takes place on Saturday 4th February 2006 at the Marriott Hotel Peterborough, UK. I would be extrremely grateful if you consider our request to attend which would give the event enormous publicity and thereby make more funds for the charity plus the fact it would be delightful to meet you and have you attend. I would like forward to hearing from you as to whether this is possible and would of course be able to provide you with 2 complimentary overnight stays at the hotel. I look forward to hearing from you. If you wish to know more about the event or the charity then please do contact me on either +44 1733 260821 or email angela@ahlb.co.uk. I was out in Hong Kong in 1965/67 and just missed the opportunity to meet you at a Shaw's brothers event. Kindest regards Angela Hyde

Saw "Flower Drum Song" for a class of mine. Namely Asian American Literature. Thought you were fabulous in the movie. It reminded a lot of films made by Bollywood, very colourful. My teacher said that there were some protests in the United States after the release of the film. He said that second generation chinese americans found the film to be offensive. I wonder how that could be. I thought the film was not offensive in the least.

Miss Kwan: Finding this web site is an early Christmas present for me. You stole my heart in 1964 at the Pix Theatre in Hollywood when, as a youngster of 14, I saw you dance the "Kaluga" in Honeymoon Hotel. In more than 40 years I have never asked for it back. On a more serious note -- you also taught me that beauty, class and integrity come in different colors and from different places. An important lesson for a young person in the early 1960's. Finally, another "gift" you've given your fans -- staying true to yourself and your beliefs all these years. Rare indeed in your profession. I wish you happiness and joy.

I fell in love with you at while watching you do those dance scenes to "I enjoy being a girl" in Flower Drum Song and of course World of Suzy Wong. I read that you reside in Thousand Oaks. Every time me and my wife and daughter drive go Los Angeles and go through Thousand Oaks, I always think of you and wish we could visit you. I guess an email from you or when you plan on making another personal appearance will suffice!

To think as young boy in 1960 I fell in love with you. So much that I met my own Suzie in the Philippines. Now 31 years later I still lover as much today as the first day I met her. What an impact that Movie had on me. I was sure as a young boy an Asian woman would be part of my world. My wife is my best friend. My wife's grand Father was Chinese. When we were young my pet name for was her was Shanghi Annie. Thanks Nancy

Hello Ms. Kwan, I like world of susie wong and flower drum song, they are both exquisite movies of your talent and beauty. I use to live and work in Hong Kong years ago, and loved the flavor of the orient, the smells, character, the life. I was just 26 then but enjoyed the life. Not that hong kong is your typical western ideal of beauty but, it has it's own beauty as well as the rest of SE Asia. I was blessed to have had the experience. I just want to say you are an elegant beauty and I love you for that. God bless you. ps. I am also a dancer. entertainer. and am still training and dancing at the age of 61.

Nancy, the world lost Pedro Dupuy last week. He passed away at 83, and was working vibrantly to the very end. I had been building a multimedia entertainment company with him. I met you and Pedro first back in 1990 when taking class from him. I would be happy to send you a memorial announcement. Pedro would want that. -- Robert

Hi! I saw Ms. Kwan in The McMasters and after reading her biography, I thought how appropriate it was that she played a woman that married a man of a different race! That was especially brave at that time! She did a wonderful job in the role and it is that much more easier to understand her motivation! Bravo, Ms. Kwan! Janetlee

Those were 2 of my favorite movies that I saw in the 60's that you were in and have actually purchased "Fate is the Hunter" and am looking to buy "FD Song" here in the near future. I always thought you were so pretty and very very talented and very sexy, esp in "Suzy Wong". You made some great memories for me. Don't know if you'll ever read this but this site made my day that I could comment. God Bless you and so glad Mr. Stark found you so you could exercise in such a beautiful way, in public, the talent and beauty you were given. Sincerely, Dennis J. Hermannes Anchorage, AK

Actually, all her films are favourites, so it's difficult to choose. How about adding an "all of the above" option? Hello to Miss Kwan and her webmaster. I've revived the Star for Nancy campaign on my website. It will be improved with a special page. At the moment, it's a link to your star campaign website. I suggest that all Nancy Kwan fans who have websites and blogs, link to the Nancy Kwan Star Of Hollywood campaign. Also add the campaign in your emails. So many less deserving get their stars. I am not taking that privelege and pleasure from them, but I think Nancy should have had her star a long time ago. Let's get our forums, blogs, emails, comments, websites, organized and link to this campaign now. Best regards to all. Amy

I tried renting Flower Drum Song from NetFlix and when I couldn't find it I found your website. I wanted to show Flower Drum Song to my 3 girls who are active in dance, choir and popular singing (ages 14, 12 & 6). Your performance was fantastic and the movie rates in my top 10 of all time musicals. I saw the movie when I was quite young (around 10) and it was a very enjoyable production that left a positive impression on me that still survives over 30 years later! I hope the studio releases a DVD and I plan to buy the VHS for now. I hope the best of everything for you and your family!!!

I saw World of Suzie Wong in HK 1961. Also, I saw Nancy in HK about the same time. Last nite I finished reading Richard Mason's book and couldn't put it down. How well does Nancy know the author Mason. Can anyone tell me more about Richard Mason. I just want to comment that he is such a prolific writer. Brings back nostalgic feelings of the past. I am about the same age as Nancy and of course would like to hear from anyone re her and her brother Ka Keung. Gladys
